Wilson Bentley lived in the end end of the 19th and early part of the 20th century. Although a farmer by trade, he is known for his extensive work of capturing snowflakes as photomicrograhs.
“...I have yet found no exact duplicates. In this inexhaustible storehouse of crystal treasures, what a delight is in store for all future lovers of snowflakes, and of the beautiful in nature.”
“… by means of these wonderfully delicate and exquisite figures, much may be learned of the history of each crystal and the changes through which it has passed in its journey through cloudland.”
